The Art Of Cleansing And Radiating Your Chakras

चक्र

“Cleanliness is next to godliness”

As a Mystic, Reiki Master and Yogi, I primarily live in the subtle realms of consciousness and the body. I see no distinction between the two at this point. Everything is energy, matter and spirit are inseparably one.

The word Chakra, pronounced with a CH like chalk-ruh, derives from चक्र Sanskrit where the chakra system originated between 500 - 1500 b.c in the ancient Vedic Sanskrit texts. The word in Sanskrit translates to wheel or disc.

A chakra in essence is an energy center or vortex. When in balance the energy center spins clockwise and when imbalanced spins counterclockwise. Depicted as lotus flowers connecting with each one of the major chakras the colors that make up the rainbow. Traditionally, the lotus flower is symbolic of the cycle of birth, death, and rebirth. 

A human being has 7 major chakras, 21 minor chakras, and 86 micro chakras. Each major chakra corresponds to specific glandular systems, organs, the central nervous system and major groups of nerves branching out from the spinal cord in corresponding locations, and the 7 levels of the Human Energy Field; as well as physical, psychological, emotional, and spiritual states of being (see list below).

Within each chakra, pure life force energy is contained. Many different traditions and cultures have their own word for it such as Prana (in Yoga), Chi/Qi (in Taoism), Ki (in Japan and from the word Reiki is named), Ruach (in Hebrew), Baraka (in Islamic culture), Light or Holy Ghost (Christianity), Bio-Plasmic Energy (Russian researchers), Vril (The Vril Society) and so on and so forth. 

Even in Star Wars, “the force” is referring to this same Life Force Energy. Ultimately it is the flow of this Life Force Energy which is the secret to being able to live long and prosper. 

Our chakras and our physical bodies make up a complex system that is cooperative and interwoven and are the essential elements of our entire being.The bridge between body and consciousness is through the breath. Every breath is a direct connection to GOD within, to Higher Self, and to your Life Force Energy.

Our chakras are the root source of our physical, emotional and mental well-being as well as the cause of most diseases and illnesses. There have been many warning signs emotionally and intuitively as sensations in these chakras that are felt in the physical body.

The blocking of the energy flow of the chakras is the result of neglecting these more subtle warning signs then turns into illness, disease and degeneration in the physical body; basically, indicating that the emotional and etheric issues have become more dense energetically, more solidified in the physical realm. 

By meditating and using mental control techniques, such as visualization, on these 7 chakras, one can stimulate the endocrine glands as well as the vagus nerve to boost the immune system.

This offers full sovereignty and mental control of your very own physical body. With balanced, aligned and activated chakras you can easily heal and regenerate any part of your body at will, as well as manifest anything your heart desires. 

So how does one cleanse and radiate the chakras? 

When the path of self-realization can be a daunting road, with many obstacles and illusions to overcome, self-awareness and self-discipline are your best allies.

First and foremost, a prerequisite is knowledge and raising your awareness/consciousness also known as Gnosis, that in itself will put you in touch with the more subtle aspects of self. Next is self-discipline, without self-discipline, transformation and healing will be fleeting moments blowing in the wind of forgetfulness.
